Financial Assistance

YMCA Membership Assistance

The YMCA strives to include all members of the community. Through the YMCA Strong Kids: Annual Giving Campaigns, individuals and families can apply for financial assistance in order to participate in YMCA programs and services they otherwise could not afford. We believe as a charity is that no one should be denied access to any YMCA program or service based on their financial circumstances.

How is the Membership Assistance Program Funded?

YMCA Membership Assistance is funded by a combination of sources including the YMCA Annual Giving Campaign. Donations made to the YMCA Annual Giving Campaign are used directly in our community. Through the generosity of Y donors, our goal is to have sufficient funds to ensure our YMCA remains available to all. These gifts provide opportunities for individuals and families who want and need Y programs, but cannot afford them. To learn more about how you can support the YMCA of Brockville and Area's Annual Giving Campaign: Strong Kids through a gift or volunteering, please see the Givingpage.
